A Creative Path Through Grief

with Daniel Kanow, Certified Grief Educator

March 9 & 16, 2026

6:00 – 8:00 pm

Community Arts Workshop, Olson Gallery

Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative

A gentle, supportive series for anyone navigating loss, transition, illness, identity change, or emotional overwhelm.

Facilitated by Daniel Kanow — Certified Grief Educator,
trained in the methodology of world-renowned grief expert David Kessler — these three evening sessions use guided expressive art techniques

to create a compassionate space where grief can be

safely felt, expressed, and gently transformed.

You do not need to be an artist.

You do not need any art experience.

You only need to arrive exactly as you are.

Through simple, guided creative processes we honor the rocky terrain of grief and give it form,

color, and voice — often bringing unexpected relief, insight, and a sense of companionship.

All art materials provided.

Bring your own easel if you have one, or work at the table.

Two consecutive Monday evenings offer a steady, supportive rhythm — a creative companion on the grief journey.

$75 for both sessions.
